How to Make Garlic Herb Parker House Rolls

Step 1: Dough Making the Dough

Make the dough by mixing warm milk, sugar, and yeast and letting it sit until foamy, then add flour, salt, egg, and butter and knead everything until the dough becomes smooth, soft, and elastic.

Place the dough in a covered bowl and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until it doubles in size and becomes light and puffy.

Step 3: Shaping the Rolls

Punch down the dough to remove air, divide it into small pieces, shape each piece, and fold them into the classic Parker House roll shape, then place them on a baking tray.

Step 4: Second Rise Before Baking

Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until they look fluffy and slightly bigger.

Step 5: Baking Cooking the Rolls

Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 15–18 minutes until they turn golden brown and soft.
